INTRODUCTION

Since 1994, the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District (BID) has funded two pedestrian counts in Downtown Denver each year. The BID conducts a comprehensive count in the summer and a partial count in the winter. This report summarizes data collected during the summer of 2013.

Pedestrian counts allow Downtown Denver stakeholders to: • Measure pedestrian traffic for prospective Downtown Denver retailers, developers and businesses.• Determine the impact of new development.• Predict or measure success of a Downtown Denver event.• Help determine priority areas for streetscape and amenity projects.• Locate areas where increased police presence and cleaning services may be needed.

METHODOLOGY

TimeframeThe 2013 summer pedestrian counts took place from June 18th to August 21st.

ProcessThe BID hired individuals to count pedestrians as they passed a specific spot located in the middle of the block on one side of the street. Counters used automatic, handheld tally counters to count pedestrians on both weekdays and weekends during the middle of the day (11:30am-1:30pm) and the evening (5:00pm-7:00pm). BID staff entered and analyzed data collected by counters. From these two hour counts, BID staff used a tool developed by the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project to estimate daily, weekly, monthly and annual pedestrian counts. For more information on this extrapolation process, please see appendix B.

WeatherWeather can have an impact on both pedestrian activity and the ability to conduct pedestrian counts. Occasionally, the BID needs to reschedule counts due to severe weather and counters record weather conditions as they count pedestrians.

Weather conditions during the summer 2013 pedestrian counts were favorable, with average temperatures and minimal precipitation. The average mean temperature for the 18 days the counts took place was 74°. The high temperature recorded during the count time period was 89°, a little higher than the historical average of 82°. The low temperature recorded during the count time period was 58°, also higher than the historical average of 53°. During the 18 days counting occurred, 0.54 inches of precipitation fell in Denver, with one of these days having more than a trace of precipitation. While counts were conducted before historic rainfall fell over the metro area during mid-September, various Saturday counts had to be canceled due to rain. Thus, counters were not able to complete all Saturday counts in the summer of 2013.

External Influences and LimitationsIn addition to weather, a variety of other outside factors can influence pedestrian counts, including special events, conferences and/or construction. Pedestrian counters record any obvious outside influences throughout their shifts that may impact pedestrian activity and the BID takes these notes into account during data analysis. However, it is not possible to control for all external influences and thus year-to-year variation in counts is expected. Additionally, counts are subject to potential human and equipment errors. The BID carefully manages the pedestrian count process in order to minimize potential errors and is confident in the count’s results.

Count site selection:

Pedestrian counts occur at core sites, zone sites and timely sites. The BID counts pedestrian activity at 12 core sites at least once a year on both weekends and weekdays. Core sites are included in every summer count and are given priority consideration for off-season counts. The Pedestrian Count Program selected the following core sites based on historical counts and the vision set forth by the 2007 Downtown Area Plan:

• 16th between Tremont and Glenarm • 16th between Glenarm and Welton• 16th between Welton and California • 16th between California and Stout • 16th between Lawrence and Larimer • 16th between Blake and Wazee

• 14th between California and Stout • 14th between Arapahoe and Lawrence • Wazee between 16th and 17th • Larimer between 14th and 15th • Arapahoe between 16th and 17th • California between 15th and 16th

In addition to these core sites, pedestrian counts take place in a certain zone that covers a quarter of the blocks in the BID. With the goal of measuring pedestrian activity on every block in the BID, the Pedestrian Count Program developed a rotating zone program in 2011. The 120 blocks within the BID’s boundaries belong to one of four zones, with pedestrian counts occurring in one zone every four years. The map on this page shows the four zones within the BID. In the summer of 2013, pedestrian counts occurred throughout Zone C. Zone C includes the historic LoDo neighborhood, the area adjacent to the Union Station redevelopment, and also borders Coors Field.

In addition to core and zone sites, the BID counts pedestrians at various timely sites based on special requests, proposed investment or development, sporting or other events, or unique conditions.

AVERAGE DAILY PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITYThe following map shows the estimated number of pedestrians that walk on a specific block in Downtown Denver on an average day. The numbers on this map are extrapolated from two-hour counts. See Appendix A and B for more information about the extrapolation process.

ADDITIONAL ANALYSISPedestrian Traffic Changes Throughout the Day

Most blocks in the BID have slightly higher pedestrian traffic during the middle of the day than during the evening, however counts on some blocks show more extreme pattens. On average, mid-day pedestrian traffic is 14% higher than evening pedestrian traffic. The following table shows blocks that have the largest difference between mid-day and evening pedestrian traffic. For a full list of counts, see appendix A.

16th Street MallAs the main pedestrian thoroughfare in the BID, measuring pedestrian activity on the 16th Street Mall is a major goal of the Pedestrian Count Program. Count sites along the 16th Street Mall have the highest amount of pedestrian traffic in Downtown Denver. In fact, the top ten highest counts were all on the 16th Street Mall. The BID estimates that the average daily pedestrian activity for a block on the 16th Street Mall ranges from a low of 14,218 pedestrians to a high of 29,582 pedestrians. (note: these numbers are extrapolated from two-hour counts; see appendices for more information about the extrapolation process.)

Special EventsThe BID counted pedestrian activity on the 16th Street Mall during a special event, Make Music Denver, in June 2013. Make Music Denver resulted in a 45% increase in pedestrian activity between 11:30am and 1:30pm and a 106% increase between 5:00pm and 7:00pm on 16th Street between Glenarm and Welton.

CONCLUSION

Outlook for 2014In 2014, the BID will count pedestrians in the Broadway and Lincoln area within Zone D of the BID. This count will provide important baseline data for the area near the Civic Center Park as well as the RTD Civic Center Transit Station. After next summer’s counts, the BID will have completed its four-year rotation and thus, will have a pedestrian count for every block in the BID. In early 2014, the BID will install automatic pedestrian counters at several locations in Downtown Denver. The BID will re-evaluate the pedestrian count program after the 2014 counts, taking into consideration the results from and experience with the automatic pedestrian counters.

AcknowledgmentsThe Downtown Denver Business Improvement District thanks the Summer 2013 pedestrian counters who spent hours counting pedestrians around Downtown Denver. The BID also thanks the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project and Alta Planning and Design for providing a model for pedestrian extrapolations.

APPENDIX B: EXPLANATION OF NBPD EXTRAPOLATION PROCESS

The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, along with Alta Planning and Design and the In-stitute of Transportation Engineers, developed a tool to estimate daily, weekly, monthly, and annual pedestrian activity from 2-hour pedestrian counts. This model takes into account the time of day, day of the week, climate, and type of pedestrian environment. Extrapolated numbers are based on the following adjustments. Contact DDP or visit bikepeddocumentation.org for more information.

Table 1: Hourly AdjustmentsModel assumes 95% of pedestrian traffic occurs between 6am and 10pm; Downtown is considered a “PED District”
